The Letter That Brought Freedom to
Sir John Trevanion.
During the great rebellion Sir John
Trevanion, a distinguished cavalier,
was made prisoner and locked up In
Colchester castle. Sir Charles Lucas
and Sir George Lisle bad Just been
made examples of as a warning to
"mallgnants," and Trevanion had ev
ery reason to expect a similar end. As
be awaited his doom be was startled
by the entrance of the Jailer, who
handed blm a letter.
"May't do tbee good," growled the
fellow. "It has been well looked to be
fore It was permitted to come to you."
Sir John took the letter, and the jailer
left blm his lamp by which to read It

comfort of ye afflletyii cannot much, I
fear me, help you now. That I wolde say
to you, Is this only: If ever I may be able
to requite that I do' owe you, stand not
upon asking- of me. 'Til not much I can
do; but what I can do, bee thou verio
sure I wllle. I knowe that. It dethe comes.
If ordinary men fear It, tt frights not you,
accounting it for a high honour, to have
such a rewarde of your loyalty. Pray yet
that you may be spared this soe bitter
cup. We pray that you may be. I fear
not that you will grudge any sufferings.
Only if bie submission you can turn them
away, ' 'tis the part of a wise man. Tell
me, an If you can, to do for you any
thlnge that you wolde have done. Tht

Now, this letter was written accord

third letter after a stop was to tell. In
this way Sir John made out "Panel at
east end of chapel slides." On the fol

A Quick Retort.
Tennessee bred two great orators in
the olden days Andrew Johnson, a
Democrat, once president of the Unit
ed States, and Gustavus A. Henry, a
Whig, known as the "Eagle Orator of
the South." They ran against each
other for governor, and when a long
series of Joint debates had reached Its
close Johnson addressed the Whigs In
the audience, "I have spoken with the
boasted eagle orator from the Missis
sippi river to the TJnaka mountains,
and as yet I see no flesh In his talons
nor blood on bis beak." Quick as a
flash Henry was on bis feet saying,
"The American eagle Is a proud bird
and feeds not on carrion."

A CLOCK IN A BOTTLE.
The Way This Marvel of Mechanism
Was Constructed.
A German clockmaker living In tht
little village of Goimuer, near Magde
burg, built a clock In a. bottle. The
maker, H. Rosin, secured a strong
movement with a cylinder escapemeut
measuring fprty-flve millimeters and
began by sawing the plate Into halves.
The opening In the neck of the bottle
measures fifteen millimeters, and in
order to get these halve Into the bot
tle he cut another aegment off each of
the halves of the plate. He built a sort
of tripod aa a resting place for the
movement. This tripod was assembled
after lie had Introduced its parts into
the bottle separately. The tripod is bo
constructed that It cannot turn when
the movement Is lwlng wound. The
four pieces of the plate were fattened
side by side by means of screws to
the platform attached to the tripod, n
long screwdriver and other tools espe
clally constructed for the 'purpose bav
lng been used for this operation. When
the plate was put together, the clock
maker proceeded to put all the part!'
of the movement In their original
places with the motion wheels for the
bands. . A ring of white metal was
placed around the neck of the bottle,
and upon this ring was soldered f
round plate, thus closing the opening
On this cover were fastened in an lu
cllned position the arms which serve
as a support for the dial. y.-'
The, dial is made of a ground glasa
plate, which has a diameter of twenrj'
centimeters.' The black numbers on the
dial are cut skeleton fashion and ce
mented to the glass. At night one can
(ell the time by placing a light behind
the dial. Technical World.

Tremulousness of the tongue when
